Dominique Wilkins (pictured) was one of the most exciting players the NBA has ever known. Despite being the face of the Atlanta Hawks during the 1980s, Wilkins never made it past the Conference Semi Finals.
Patrick Ewing, (New York Knicks) took the Knicks into the playoffs many times, but had the bad fortune to run into the early-90's Chicago Bulls every year of their first back-to-back-to-back title run. His Knicks then missed their golden opportunity to get a ring when they lost to the Rockets in 1994 and after that, Ewing was on the downward slope.
